Mercuration of pyridine 1-oxide with mercuric acetate, followed by treatment with sodium chloride yielded 4-chloromercuripyridine 1-oxide, m.p. 259-260°, which was confirmed by deriving it to 4-methoxypyridine 1-oxide. Mercuration of quinoline 1-oxide with mercuric acetate or mercuric perchlorate, followed by treatment with sodium chloride, yielded 8-chloromercuriquinoline 1-oxide, m.p. 235°, which was confirmed by deriving it to 8-bromoquinoline through its 1-oxide, m.p. 102-104°. 8-Bromoquinoline 1-oxide could not previously been obtained by any other method.
